I slammed the brakes on and skidded to a halt narrowly avoiding them. My friend behind me said by about 6 inches. I was wondring if ABS was standard and if not how do we know if you have it. 1999 Black Contour V6 5 speed. http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2072975/

Unless you were skidding, ABS may not have come into play on what you just described. I don't remember where the HCU is mounted off hand, but one way to tell is to see if there are wheel sensors at each wheel. Jim Johnson 98 SVT 03 Escape Limited

If you have ABS, there is an instrument cluster light which comes on for a few seconds when you turn on the ignition. Edit.
